PIN–UP: what was day 4 of Design Week, day 2 and 3 were a bit of blur now…

Is it so wrong to go to an opening and spend most of your time looking down? That’s basically what I did tonight when I picked up the magazine PIN–UP which was having a launch party for their second issue. After work today I walked from the west side of 14th all the way to nearly the end of the 14th on the east side of Manhattan, made a couple quick turns and found myself in front of a red door. There’s starting to be a pattern where I’ll look at a door that seems forcibly locked only to find that with a regular turn of the wrist that the door opens with ease. They look locked but aren’t which is kind of interesting in itself. Something to consider the next time you head out to an establishment. I got there around 7.30 which allowed me enough time to grab the issue and a drink (or 2), look downward and enjoy the content. The last time I was this interested in any sort of publication was with the site Placement which has been quiet for too long ironically. As always I’d recommend going to check out www.pinupmagazine.org and order a copy. If you need any other forms of persuasion – here’s a couple pics that I placed on flickr.
